Angel, if I remember right, started out on his very first Russian learning adventure in december 2005. And I admire his courage for throwing himself to the lions, and bravely trying to post in Russian. On a language board.

Wouldn't it be an idea to help the man?!

I don't remember reading in the rules that MasterRussian is only for advanced learners. But I do know that I won't be posting in Russian here (and I don't only mean the Russian Only Board), as I need help, not reminding how bad my Russian is. I know that.
I guess the same goes for Angel.
And for many others who may be lurking.

Angel, hat off to you, mate!
Sorry, that language was not "bad Russian". That language wasn't Russian at all. It's English, with (mostly wrong) Russian words substituted in. He should stop doing this NOW -- word-for-word translation does not work, and this is a good example why. Hopefully this reaction helps him realize that
And this is what the inverse situation looks like:

Also here's a couple links on the subject that all language learners should look at, imo:
